Student Low and Negative Balance Meal ProceduresStudents on "full pay" status may continue to receive meals until their account balance reaches a negative fifteen dollars (-$15.00), and students on "reduced" status may continue to receive meals until their account balance reaches a negative five dollars (-$5.00).

When, pursuant to this regulation, a student is no longer permitted to charge meals on his or her account, Kitchen Managers shall e-mail or call the office of the Nutrition Services Department with the student's name; they also shall notify the school Principal, Vice Principal and/or Office Manager. The Nutrition Services Department will contact the parent or guardian by phone to determine whether the parent or guardian has completed or intends to complete a meal application or whether the parent or guardian will deposit money towards the student's account for the purchase of meals.

When a student is no longer permitted to charge on his or her account, the student will receive an emergency snack. The emergency snack will consist of three food items: milk, fruit, and graham crackers.

In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.
